" Musical Collaboration Matters"
Creativity Matters - Why Creativity Matters... A Musical Collaboration
- Creativity matters because it is an essential element of self-directed lifelong learning.
- Creativity matters because it enables us to adapt to rapidly changing economic, civic and cultural circumstances.
- Creativity Matters because it is vital for high-value work and for competitiveness of our economy.
- Creativity Matters to innovate and engage; to generate a shift in thinking and behavior and to share ideas worth spreading that change attitudes, lives and ultimately the world for the better.
